I love a good historical fiction and murder/mystery book! And this book definitely delivered!
Michael Corravan is an inspector at Scotland Yard in the year 1878. The Yard has been under a lot of pressure and negative press.
A body of a woman is found floating in a boat on the Thames and the search for the killer begins. But… it’s not just a single victim. In the following weeks there are more victims.
The pressure is on when the press catches wind of the serial killings. And Inspector Corravan is trying to solve the case before London desolves into a state of panic and before the killer claims yet another victim.
I really enjoyed this book and thank NetGalley & Crooked Lane Books for the opportunity to read it.
I do suggest you check the TW before reading this book.

1878 London. Overworked Inspector Michael Corravan is called in to investigate the murder of judge’s daughter Rose Albert. Her body has been discovered in a boat on the Thames. One of his other cases involves the disappearance of wife Madeline Beckford. As the families live near each other is there a link between them. Then the body of another young girl is found.
An entertaining and interesting, well-written historical mystery, with its cast of likeable and varied characters. A good start to this new series.
